Renato Moicanos rear naked choke

[biscuitsbrah]

He must have crazy leverage and a hella tight squeeze because all of these seem like it’s still capable of fighting the hands. Also some of these guys tapped super early so you know it must hurt.




His head is right by his opponents other head, so there is really no room for him to hide his hand with the glove in the way.
I also noticed it wouldn’t be impossible to reach back and grab his hand when he switches to gable, but it seems everyone is so focused on the pain and being choked out that they don’t even try to reach back, like the squeeze is too much already.

What are your thoughts? I don’t know how common it is to finish gable grip RNC’s but I don’t see it a lot in mma

Coming up this is how I was taught to RNC (gable grip as an option). Looks like clips 2,4, and 6 are traditional finishes.

I've always been fond of the gable grip finish and going right through the chin. We used to call it the Severn. The gable grip is great for adding more power on the jaw compression / crank.

To make it extra nasty you can turn their chin to either shoulder and then fold their head into the choke. You see this a bit in clip 3.

When asking training partners if they tapped to neck crank, jaw crank, or blood choke it's common for them to answer all of the above.

I only go for the gable grip when they try to pull the choking arm down that the blade of my forearm is on their throat.

So, everyone see Khamzat vs Whittaker?

Please tap early to the rear naked face crank.

That one was so fast. Rob tapped immediately and it still broke his shit

I think he tapped immediately BECAUSE it was breaking his shit.

One of the fastest times I've tapped in training was in the gi and happened to not have a mouthguard in.

Lapel got wrapped around my face through my open mouth. Tapped instantly. Partner jokes, "why'd you tap? the choke wasn't on". I say with a mouth full of blood "to save my teeth".

Getting caught by this with your mouth open is even worse.

Executing the RNC so consistently at a high level is very impressive. Really don't know what he's doing special to get the finish, but it's working.

first monday after that fight I was trainning... gave my back intentionally to work on my escapes
I was tucking my chin, fighting the hands and getting the hooks off, everything right. Mofo started to crank my face hard, right on the mouth... all I could think was the pic of Bob's mouth

Honestly, some dudes just have unreal squeeze. My old coach could pop a soccer ball with his squeeze. It’s a super power. Some dudes have unreal Ko power. Some have crazy squeeze.

Tucking your chin isn’t a defense! When will people learn that?

In an actual fight or even a tournament you’re going to get the big squeeze if you tuck.

In sparing I won’t squeeze your face to get a sub but will squeeze it enough to get you to make a mistake and switch my attacks.

Im confused, should I not tuck it and just give up my neck to get subbed even faster?
It's a real question.

It's not like I was "I tucked my chin, he cant sub me". I was fighting the hands/grips around my neck and getting the hooks out of my legs while trying to turn my hips. Tucking the the chin was to give me time to fight it off.
It's a honest blue belt question here, Am I supposed to not tuck it when someone is trying to squeeze it?

You called dude a mofo for doing jiu jitsu on your tucked chin/face. If you didn’t give up your back and neck this post wouldn’t exist.

Your “defense” failed you long before the tucked chin.


Serious answer.

Well, It seems to o bê a interpretation problem.
I called him "mofo" as in "Thats a strong ass motherfucker".
I didnt think It was ambiguous, but hey... english is my 3rd language.
Its not a negative "mofo".
I wasnt expecting him to have that strong of a squeeze. I didnt Say he did something bad or called him out on anything, but when I Felt the squeeze on my jaw the First thing that came tô my mind was that picture.
My bjj is terrible, but I do believe in putting myself in bad positions so I can learn to get out. One thing is tô do a drill, the hard thing is tô execute in real time without time to "think". That's what I usually do in less competitive rolls, in a hard roll I would fight like hell tô not let the Guy get that much Control, sinking his hooks and closing on my neck without a hand/arm between tô defend It.
But like I Said, my bjj sucks.. Im always open for tips tô improve. I just dont think I did something wrong or failed in anything here.
Only thing Hurt was my pride

Yeah you notice it very clearly in the 5th clip. That forearm must have hurt
